The Pijnacker municipal council has voted against establishing an asylum seeker center that would have housed 250 individuals due to funding uncertainties surrounding national government policies. Local residents expressed concerns about the proposed location near a swimming pool. The decision came after a narrow majority opposed the plan, influenced by fears over the long-term viability of financial support from the government. The future of asylum seeker accommodations in Pijnacker now rests with Minister Faber, who is expected to make a decision by December 31.
